What I can say for now:

- #GrapheneOS has partnered with a major Android OEM. One of the top ten.

- We aim to have a device by H2 2026, but potentially 2027.

- We have early source access for patches and, soon, major releases through our partner.

- We are aiming to get their next generation flagship devices able to support installing GrapheneOS.

- The device will have the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 (SM8850) SoC.

- We will continue to support Pixels if they continue to release with support. We will also aim to have Pixel 10 support once Android 16 QPR1 sources are available.

“Sadly, GrapheneOS didn’t reveal the name of its new partner. However, folks are speculating it could be Nothing, given it’s one of the few OEMs that allow bootloader unlocking, which is a prerequisite for installing GrapheneOS. That said, Nothing doesn’t really qualify as a “major Android OEM” right now.”

… haha there’s something called Nothing?

Yes. They're getting quite popular.

but wordplay aside, getting back to the article, it wasn’t clear what is ‘Nothing’. An operating system? The gist seems to be - use Pixel phones running Graphene if you really value privacy.

Nothing is a device maker. Just look it up.

well, I won’t need to get a new phone for another several years or so, so just making a note of the whole privacy in a phone thing. That’s what comment sections are for yeah? Brief discussions of things. “Just look it up”. Rude.
